Understanding hymenoplasty requires delving into the multifaceted reasons why individuals choose this surgical intervention. A broken hymen is often linked to loss of virginity but it can happen due to multiple reasons like heavy workouts, participating in sports, cycling, etc. This procedure involves suturing back a broken hymen to create a new hymen. It is often performed in a hospital setup. It is a quick procedure and the patient can go home within a few hours. After administration of local or general anesthesia, the doctor accesses the remaining part of the hymen and removes the scar tissue. Remnants are sutured back using dissolvable sutures.
Sometimes the part of the hymen cannot be sutured back, then doctors use a small flap of vaginal lining to create a hymen-like structure.
After surgery, patients are kept under observation for a few hours and then discharged
No visible scars are left after the surgery.
